[Verse 1]
I was in peace
Far in the wild
Sleeping in stone
Thin as a sigh
You crossed that line
Torch in your hand
Dragged all your noise
Into my land
[Chorus]
I am the beast in your fury
Born from the fear in your eyes
You tore the gates
Woke my hunger
Now you swear we’re the reason it’s dark
It’s dark
You brought the night
Then blamed the stars
[Verse 2]
You carved your names
Deep in my bark
You called it law
I called it scar
You set the fire
Just for the shine
Now ash is all
You leave behind
[Chorus]
I am the beast in your fury
Born from the fear in your eyes
You tore the gates
Woke my hunger
Now you swear we’re the reason it’s dark
It’s dark
You brought the night
Then blamed the stars
[Bridge]
You say we take place in the dark
But you built this cave
Brick by burning heart
Whose hands cracked the sky apart?
Whose voice first cursed this ground? (yeah)
[Chorus]
I am the beast in your fury
Raised by the storm of your lies
You called me out
Named me monster
Then you hid when the shadows replied
Replied
You made this dark
And now it answers back
